The Catch
How far do you go for a friendship? That's the question Daniel Wade is forced to ask when a simple favor has fatal consequences. For the sake of his old schoolmate, Robbie - and more importantly for Robbie's sister, Cate - Dan agrees to go along with a lie. But soon he's sucked into a conspiracy that threatens to consume them all.
How hard do you fight for a fortune? For Gordon and Patricia Blake, the dead man held the key to a glorious future. Now that future has been ripped from their grasp, and the Blakes want to know why. Then they want revenge.
How can you hope to survive? With a ruthless predator on their trail, Dan realizes that evading justice is the least of their worries. All that matters now is staying alive.
